CALGARY — TC Energy Corp. raised its dividend as it reported a fourth-quarter profit of $1.1 billion.

The pipeline company says it will now pay a quarterly dividend of 90 cents per share, up from 87 cents per share.

Revenue totalled nearly $3.6 billion, up from nearly $3.3 billion in the last three months of 2020.

TC Energy says its comparable earnings for fourth quarter 2021 amounted to $1.06 per share compared with $1.15 per share in 2020.
